Gertrude and Mathilda

Gert and Hilda!

Gertrude, the old milking Bosk, at times a little grumpy (she old!), affectionately called "Gert" by the Taae, and Mathilda, the Barrens milking Verr, restless and always trying to break free (she young!), some call "Hilda", are the two main milk sources of the Taae Gianii, both kept safe in the Aakii-Tai camp perimeter, unlike the semi-wild Verr on Dukmi-Tai that while providing milk and wool to the tribe are left alone to roam free and even used by the Amaae.

Gert has been known to inspire some of the huntresses to make use of their girls while they are tending her, while Hilda is prone to more innocent types of play. Both are precious to the Nature loving Taae and they praise the Mother of All for the graciousness shown by allowing them to find such useful and amusing animals. While some of the nourishment they need comes from Aakii's wilderness, the soft and tender forage both Gertrude and Mathilda like best is acquired through trade with Dirii, or sometimes an occasional loan from other places *coughs*.

Please be kind to animals.
They are the Mother's blessings to us all. *smiles*
